Microsoft to buy in more security skills
Microsoft will focus on rapid acquisitions to quickly build its security capability, the company said this week.
Recent acquisitions such as Winternals and virtual private network (VPN) specialist Whale will help Microsoft build a comprehensive range of integrated services that cover every aspect of security, according to Gopal Kutwaroo, Microsoft's UK security product manager.
"Our strategy is clear. We don't do point solutions, but are trying to create integrative services, with products and solutions that work right across the computing environment," Kutwaroo said.
Speedy acquisitions combined with organic growth will continue to be a mainstay of Microsoft's security strategy.
